contents	Management of drug interactions with beta-blockers: continuing education has a short-term impact Steven Simoens Gert Laekeman Annelies Driesen Medicina Belgium Pharmacists Drug Interactions Pharmacy continuing education There is a lack of clear guidelines regarding themanagement of drug-drug interactions.Objective: To assess the impact of an educationalintervention on the management of drug interactionswith beta-blockers.Methods: The study had a controlled before-andafterdesign. The intervention group (n=10pharmacies) received a continuing education courseand guidelines on the management of druginteractions with beta-blockers. The control group(n=10 pharmacies) received no intervention.Pharmacy students and staff of internshippharmacies participated in this study. Before andafter the intervention, students registeredinteractions with beta-blockers during two weeks.Information was obtained on drug information of thebeta-blocker and the interacting drug, patientsdemographics, and the mode of transaction.Results: A total number of 288 interactions weredetected during both study periods. Most betablockerscausing an interaction were prescribed forhypertension, and interacted with hypoglycemicagents, NSAIDs, or beta2-agonists. Pharmacistsintervention rate was low (14% in the pre-testcompared to 39% in the post-test), but increasedsignificantly in the post-test in the interventiongroup. Reasons for overriding the interactionincluded limited clinical relevance, refillprescriptions, not being aware of the interaction,and communication problems with the prescriber.Conclusion: An interactive continuing educationcourse, during which practice-oriented guidelineswere offered, affected pharmacists´ short-termbehavior at the counter in dealing with interactionsof beta-blockers. Continuing education plays a rolein raising pharmacists´ awareness and responsibilitytowards the detection and management of druginteractions in the pharmacy. 2006 artículo científico 1885-642X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69040308 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=690 Pharmacy Practice application/pdf Centro de investigaciones y Publicaciones Farmacéuticas Pharmacy Practice (España) Num.3 Vol.4
